Leaves petiolate, o-

mit, acute, coarsely 
and acutely serrate, 
triplinerved, pubescent; 
scales of the involu- 
crum imbricate. 
Mich. 2. p. 100. Pursh, 2. p. 517* 
Stem five to six feet high, pubescent, almost tomentose. Leaves large, 
five to six inches long, ovate, tapering gradually to the summit, which is 
sometimes acuminate ; lower leaves opposite, the lowest slightly cordate. 
Petioles two to three inches long. Floioers in a fastigiate corymb, very nu- 
merous, rather small. Involucrum ten-leaved, twelve to fourteen flowered ; 
leaves linear, very villous. Corolla white. Seeds angled. Pappus sca- 
brous. 
The expression of Michaux, u rariter serratis” is incorrect, and has, I sus- 
pect, given rise to some doubts about the species. 
Grows in the vallies of the Sea-Islands. 
Flowers September — October.

Stem about two feet high, covered with a fine scarcely visible pubescence, 
sparingly branched. Leaves opposite, on slender petioles one to two inches 
long, deltoid, very acute, very thin, cordate and thinly sprinkled with short 
hair. Flowers in terminal corymbs, more loosely aggregated than in the 
following species. Involucrum fifteen to twenty-leaved, bearing about 
twenty flowers; leaves linear-lanceolate, very acute, a little pubescent, near- 
ly as long as the corolla, a few of the exterior ones a little shorter than the
